> As an aside, putting 'evil' in your licence is pretty dumb. There is no definition of evil which can be argued over in any court. What you consider 'good', someone else almost certainly considers 'evil'
People keep arguing that the license is bad because "evil" is ambiguous. But there's a legal concept called "Contra proferentem", which stipulates that ambiguity in a contract (or license) benefits the party which did not draft it. Crockford's clause has no force because he drafted it.

Am I the only one who finds it concerning that a clause which legally cannot be enforced is placed into a license anyways? I'm not sure how this helps the complaints against the JSLint license.
